Entering the condo, we were blown away by its location! The views were incredible! The proximity to the beach, with its tide pools was great! The rooms were comfortable to use, the living area inviting. The pool area was clean and well kept.

Noa2015-04-07T00:00:00Z

James! I was blown away! Not only did everything meet my expectations and the descriptions, but your place is unbelievable. It was very sad saying goodbye after only staying two nights here but i definitely plan on renting from you again. Thanks so much :)

Chance2015-03-15T00:00:00Z

We had a blast in Rocky Point! The condo was just perfect for our family vacation. Located just walking distance to the beach and stores we had no problems finding spots to eat and have fun. Awesome new bar right across the street Skully's, awesome bartender. The condo was clean and very comfortable, there was a small problem with the Jacuzzi so we did not use it at all, but no need, it was way too hot outside for it. Overall, the place was perfect for our family and my kids love how spacious it was. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks James!

Ana2015-08-03T00:00:00Z

James was a very kind host. The rental itself was awesome. It was very pristine. Great views, and ideal place to stay! However there were unexpected charges that I was unaware of until arrival, and when informed about about these fees by the front attendant, she was not helpful at all. In fact, when I had issues regarding the charge she became very combative. When addressing how she was speaking with me, she threatened to refund my money after we had driven 3 1/2 hours to enjoy or night. So with less than a 24 hour turn around time, this was not ideal to start our trip off... Again, James was very kind. The place is awesome. I'd recommend this place again to others....I wish the experience with her with the attendant was as beautiful as the condo and the views it provided.

JD2015-07-12T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful experience. The house was big and airy and the kids loved it! We would def recommend it here if you are visiting Rocky Point!

rebeca2015-07-28T00:00:00Z

James was so responsive and accommodating to work with. We were communicating within ten minutes after I sent my booking request. The Condo was perfect! It was very cozy, spacious and more then we had expected. We stopped and picked up groceries and conveniently made breakfast and lunch daily in the kitchen, which was equipped with all the dishes, pans, etc. The resort is right on the beach, just steps from the water. Parking is secure and safe. There are restaurants just across the street, and the marina is a short five minute drive where there are more restaurants and shops.

Cindi2014-08-20T00:00:00Z

Beautiful Condo. You really can't beat that ocean view. My family of 7 had an amazing time. The pool is nice and just a few steps to the sand.

Courtney2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

This condo is AWESOME!! My wife and her family had a great time here. We couldn't believe the views. The patios, one for the master bedroom, and one from the living room were great to see the beach which was only a short walk away. I would highly recommend this 3BR condo for families and look forward to staying again. Thanks James & Andy.

We had a great time here, Upon arrival Janet and John are so welcoming and so friendly leaving us welcome drinks, and inviting us over for a social drink, they leant us their beach chairs and cooler. We were so surprised they left a birthday message and gift! it was so kind, the pictures of the ocean are what it is right out side, it is especially lovley during the low tide. The bed is one of the most comfortable ever! and the quality of the room is just outstanding. Puerto Penasco is a cool place with lovely beach and town with Mexican charm, and lots to do! Easter weekend had a huge party when u travel further down the beach, was so cool to experience. I can only say that it was an amazing trip, I loved the room and our hosts, I loved the dessert, the beach and the town and is a really lovely different place to experience.

chris2014-04-22T00:00:00Z

Janet's place by the Sea is amazing, everything you could need for a relaxing beachfront weekend was provided. She is a great host and a pleasure to meet. Highly recommend any time you're in Rocky Point.

Eric2015-05-11T00:00:00Z

A great stay! Thanks to our hosts.

john2017-09-11T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Janet and John's unit at The Esmeralda Resort over Labor Day weekend was perfect in every way! Janet was very prompt in responding to my many questions leading up to our vacation, and she gave us very detailed information to help make our arrival go very smoothly. My wife and I were amazed at the quality of the unit, as well as the outstanding views from the balcony! The pictures on the site look great, but the unit is ever MORE impressive in person! Janet and John greeted us immediately upon arrival and were exceedingly gracious and helpful during our entire visit. They truly made our stay feel like we were "home away from home"! This unit was an excellent choice for a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation, and we will definitely return here the next time we come back to Rocky Point! An awesome experience in every way...

Max2014-09-02T00:00:00Z

best host ever, Janet told us everything about rocky point, where to go, where to eat, and what to do. the place was super clean. me and my wife love everything about it. thanks janet. I will come back again next year with our baby!

kong2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

We had a beautiful weekend and the condo was gorgeous!

Jessica2014-03-17T00:00:00Z

Janet and John were both extremely welcoming, and very accommodating. We were greeted right as we walked in, given the rundown on their place, and given recommendations on where to eat. They were sure to let us know that if we needed anything at all, to come knocking. In John's words, "you're on vacation, play play play". Very cool vacation experience, thank you both. :-)

Jim2014-06-10T00:00:00Z

This was the first visit for my wife and I to Puerto Penasco / Rocky Point. Janet and John were thoughtful and amazing hosts, and they helped make our first experience in the region quite exceptional. We loved the layout and amenities of the unit, and the location on Sandy Beach was perfect us; quiet but within walking distance to more active section of beach. This unit will be top of our list whenever we return to Rocky Point!

Great place to stay close to El Malecon and restaurant quiet residential area but we'll worth it clean and the pool was amazing. Adrian was a great host very friendly and helpful communication between us was great if we needed help or anything he was there to help. Place is located about 7 to 10 mins from the Malecon the garage fit two cars and the neighborhood was quiet but if you wanted to party or blast music in your house it was completely fine there are 3 other villas as well. House was clean hot water for days 3 bathrooms 2 showers everything worked great definitely recommend this house to anyone

Judith2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

It is a great property with a nice pool and a very helpful owner! I will definitely be staying there again in the near future. Thanks, James

James2017-06-13T00:00:00Z

Good place to stay,will recomend for sure

Jorge2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Great hospitality made it easy for our late check in

Clarissa 2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Vacation was amazing thanks to Adrian as a host .

Eric2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

Nice place with private pool and close to the beach what else can you ask for

Leonardo 2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

Overal the house was clean with plenty of room. Don't expect resort style accomldation. Closest beach is a few mintutes drive and its a rocky beach. No shampoo or trash bags provided so bring your own.

You can park right in front of your CondoApartment door. Very convenient. The beautiful low maintenance Spanish flooring is ideal especially for beach goers.
It is tastefully decorated and furnished.
You have a deck you can walk right out to from the bedrooms with the gorgeous views of the mountains as high as 10,000 ft. It is also a great place to sunbathe while relaxing in fresh country air or sea breeze.

Playa San Felipe neighborhood is police patrolled 24 hours a day. It is conveniently located 2.5 miles south of town where better beaches are found. Many Americans, Canadians and Europeans who do not wish to live in gated communities live here. Playa San Felipe is close to the Marina where you can purchase your favorite catch of the day. A mile south is the San Felipe Marina Resort Hotel where you can enjoy its fine dining, or be served margarita right on the beach.

Carmina's space is just South of town. It was perfect for our needs. It's got everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Ray2017-06-21T00:00:00Z

Quiet area, clean and as described. Close to all activities San Felipe has to offer. Carmenia was very knowledgeable and provided a very helpful guide that we utilized.

Daniel2017-09-20T00:00:00Z

Great location, easy to find, apartments were great for that price, nice views from upstairs. Its was very nice to have wifi. Mina was very helpful from the beginning, i would definately stay there again.

Ruben2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

Gotta say I had a great experience overall staying at the condo. Very relaxing. Not much noise. Very spacious. Surprisingly when we would go out. And turn off the a/c when we would get back. The condo wasn't all that hot inside. Even tho outside was very hot. Location was great. Not far from the beach or the resorts. I was happy about that. Carminia is really nice. Very helpful. And Vicky the manager. Was really sweet and attentive. Any time we needed to ask her something. She was always there. And her best to help us. When I go back. I will rent from them again.

Tom 2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Great place for our visit to San Felipe. Carmina was a great host.

Ray2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

The condo was very nicely furnished and was a super comfy place to overnight. Spacious living area and two full bedrooms - it almost felt like a waste of the space to stay with just two people. 10 minute drive downtown and minutes away from the beaches south of town.

We were happy with this apartment - all was as advertised on the listing page. Mina also went above and beyond in taking an interest in and helping us with our purpose for visiting San Felipe (finding people to interview for our research project), which was greatly appreciated. Voste the guard dog was an absolute sweetheart, and a lovely perk of staying here!

They were just amazing hosts. I also have a home for rent in the same area. My place was booked so i needed a place last min and they took my people in just like that. Very professional hosts that really understand things happen... thanks guys !!

Matt2015-06-09T00:00:00Z

Tommy and Rita's house was a great place to stay away from the craziness of the hotel district. They built this spare room on their property that is fully equipped with a bathroom, kitchen, tons of closet space and a TV. It was clean and modern and we felt completely safe! I would highly recommend anyone to stay with them. Wonderful hosts!

Kirstin2013-10-07T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay with Tommy and Rita. They are super nice, and seem to know everyone in Puerto Penasco. They even gave me a ride across town to a concert, and offered to take me back to Phoenix.

Michael2014-06-12T00:00:00Z

This was my second time at the Ikea house, the place was clean, secure, and in a great location for our trip! Great hosts, very helpful, I'll be back for sure !

Jean-leon2014-09-22T00:00:00Z

Thank you Tommy and Rita! We enjoyed our stay in your IKEA house. It was exactly what we needed during our visit to Rocky Point. We spent much of our time out exploring, but your little casita was the perfect place to make our home base. We enjoyed being in an actual neighborhood and not a resort and were close to the beach and restaurants. Tommy and Rita provided us with an excellent map of the area highlighting restaurants and activities and were quick to respond to any questions we had regarding our stay. Thanks again!

Leigh2014-04-07T00:00:00Z

The IKEA house was great and as described. We have traveled to Rocky Point on many occasions and this was one of our favorite spots. The hosts were responsive and provide great information about RP. We loved the animals, what's not love about a new foal. Don't let the location worry you, it was quiet and well located.

Martina2015-07-25T00:00:00Z

We would stay here again! Loved all the animals and chickens. They gave us fresh eggs. Also everything was very clean. Pamela

Las Palmas Beachfront resort is exactly as its name implies: located directly on the beach! There are three swimming pools and five hot tubs located within the Resort. Restaurant, convenience store, clubhouse, gym, spa, and swim-up bars are just a few of the other amenities Las Palmas offers. The condo itself is 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and fully loaded kitchen. We have a garden view just steps away from the pool and beach.

Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point, is a premier seaside vacation destination in Sonora, Mexico. Located only four hours from Phoenix, Arizona, Rocky Point is affectionately called “Arizona’s Beach.”

Great condo very clean and comfortable. Close to the pool and just a short walk away from the beach. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Gilbert2016-05-29T00:00:00Z

Tien was an awesome host and I am very happy we booked through him. There was a miscommunication for our booking and Tien was very cooperative and worked through it all with us and even got us an upgrade into a villa for a couple of nights. The condo was very clean and nice! There were four of us and it fit perfectly! The resort was also very nice with a large beach area just a short walk away. I would highly recommend booking through Tien because of how accommodating he is and also because of his very nice place for a very reasonable price.

Preston2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

LOVE this place, will definitely book again!

Becky2017-09-17T00:00:00Z

Tien was incredibly communicative, even from a distance. He checked in to make sure we had everything we needed prior to us leaving home, as well as once we were there. The space was clean and brightly decorated. The front desk staff were also very helpful.

Liz & Lupita2016-04-19T00:00:00Z

Our accommodations were amazing!

Erin2016-10-08T00:00:00Z

Perfecto, alojamiento, instalaciones, si regreso... definitivo.

Francisco2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Great condo has everything you need on hand! Perfect for families!

Topacio2017-05-05T00:00:00Z

Tien was a great host and the room and resort area was a lot of fun. We went there for spring break and I would reccomend it for college kids lokoing for a nice place to stay during break or families looking to vacation.

We are located very close to the downtown area which is also known as the Malecon of San Felipe where all the activity restaurants, bars, nightclubs , craft shops and markets in general. Our Campground has a Beach area just for our customers, we have 24 hour security, ..

Great spot great location helpful friendly staff definitely would come back again literally on the beach

Ben2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Lilly was on site and available ig needed! She's a sweetheart! If waking up to a beautiful sunrise and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean is what you're looking for, look no further ! An absolutely lovely getaway! A lovely little beach town with really beautiful people! Would rrcommend to anyone hands down!

Luis2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful location. Very private and quiet. Nothing like sleeping to the sound of waves. Nice enough sized casita for two. A little difficult to find so ask for good directions (one on Airbnb not that great). Walking on the beach when the tide is low is awesome. I wasn't really pron to swim there - seemed dirty the water. Lily was a nice woman and helpful.

Susan2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

Great place right on the beach! And it's the perfect walking distance down the beach to get into main San Felipe. I'll want to stay here again next time I'm in town.

Lilli our hostess, made us feel very, very welcomed, from the communication to the all the extra things she did, so we could enjoy our stay. The description of the listing was very accurate and the location was unbelievably beautiful. What an amazing place to stay, we are definitely going back to Victors Park. I would highly recommend it to anybody, to go there and you will see for yourself, you will absolutely love it. Comfortable beds, cold air conditioning, clean rooms, etc. etc. etc. I could go on and on. The delicious seafood at Mariscos La Palma was only a 5 minute walk, from our place (see Gabby). But 2 things that really stuck out to me were the spectacular view of the Sea of Cortez and the lovely hostess, Lilli, made for a very pleasant stay. I can not wait to go back. Jenny and George

Jorge2016-09-17T00:00:00Z

The beach is right outside the back door and it's beautiful. We had our small dog with us and it was a blast. We walked up and down the beach everyday. The place is in walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. It was scorching hot during our stay and victor's thankfully had air conditioning which was so appreciated. I would recommend this place to anyone going down to San Felipe. Great Value and amazing location.

Siobhan2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful place to stay for a weekend getaway! My husband and I stayed for a couple weeks and we loved it. It is safe, comfortable, and the location next to the beach is breathtaking.

The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

John2014-07-22T00:00:00Z

Our trip to Bahia was our 3rd this year and first time at Mauro's Posada...and this was our best trip yet! The posada is the only location in Bahia where you can stay atop the hillside with views of the entire bay...which are breathtakingly fantastic! Not to mention that the posada itself is an eco inspiration! A literal feat of hard work and ingenuity perched atop a pile of rocks. Solar powered w composting sewage and desalinated water. There are many an interesting story to be heard about the creation and still in progress vision for the property. Mauro is a well respected and invaluable member of the Bahia community and was an extremely welcoming and hospitable host. Mauro introduced us to both new friends and experiences. Swimming with whale sharks, boat rides to secluded island beaches, hiking the desert peaks, sourcing a fresh caught seafood feast, and the list goes on... This is not for anyone looking for something fancy...this is not a resort town...we appreciate that but keep this in mind! The posada has all your basic necessities while striving for sustainability and incorporating eco-friendly methods. Rooms were clean and comfortable. No a/c but a great breeze outside from atop the hillside. Shared kitchen with a large communal table where we shared several evenings together. The restroom is detached from the main posada with a composting toliet and a sink/shower with running water. Wifi is available. We'd recommend having a vehicle for getting down to town or to the beach. If you love animals, you'll also like the additional perk of a playful pack of adorable kittens frolicking around the property, as well as two chicken coops, a rabbit den, and two friendly dogs. :) When we are back in Bahia, we will most definitely stay here once more. A great experience.

Staci & Alex2013-08-27T00:00:00Z

We wanted to discover Mexico and Baja de California with our kids of 6 and 8 during our Christmas holiday on the west cost of USA. Oh-boy! did we hit a jack pot when we found Mauro, Patti and their kids Maxine-Rose and Giuseppe. Their house is filled with joy and laughter and pets of all kinds. No wonder it was hard to convince kids and ourselves to leave when it was time to move on. If you are looking to explore Baja de California, you like simple living, love cooking together as a big family, adore animals and nature - this is a place for you.

Ismo2013-12-25T00:00:00Z

Mauro's family and place are a wonderful human experience altogether. From Mauro's travel stories to Patty's self-sufficient skills and everyone's cooking, from their children's love of Life to the serenity surrounding this out-of-this-world location, we had the most incredible time and cannot thank them enough for all the care and attention they've been given us. We love them and stole a piece (peace?) of them to keep in our hearts during our travel :-) Thanks again sooooo much for ths very special time ! See you soon, insh'ALLAH !

antoine2013-12-11T00:00:00Z

Very friendly, beautiful location.

Oliver2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

If you are headed to Bahia, stay here. Great place for a short or longer term trip. Welcoming, kind, relaxing, and cheerful atmosphere with great dogs and people! Will be back if we can!

Hillary2016-02-12T00:00:00Z

On this leg of our trip, we were able to spend even more time with the kids and it was terrific! The family is really a pleasure. I will restate that the accommodations are rustic and not private. You live communally with the family. Fresh fruit and vegetables are hard to come by in this remote desert area, but meals are available for a fee negotiated with Patty and Mauro. It's a really good idea to bring as much from farther north as you can manage. You will be glad you did.

Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco): Sea of Cortes
The beautiful Sea of Cortes in Rocky Point Mexico
The Sea of Cortes, also known as the 'Gulf of California', is amazing in so many different ways. From the abundance of sea life to the clarity of the waters, the Sea of Cortes is host to amazing fishing, scuba diving, beautiful views, and more. Legendary diver Jacques Cousteau once described the Sea of Cortes as the "world's aquarium" and the "Galapagos of North America".
The Sea of Cortes currently plays an important role in one of the most interesting ecospheres in the world, and with everything that is happening in the region, it stands to play an amazingly pivotal role in what happens to the area next. There is so much one could say about the Sea Of Cortes, so I'm just going to start off of the top of my head and go from there.
As you can see from the map - the Sea of Cortes is bordered by the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, and Sinaloa. To the north it is part of the desolate Sonoran landscape, and creates amazing ares where open desert suddenly spills into a beautiful, sparkling coastline. Further down south it laps up against more popular - and populated - places like bahia Concepcion, La Paz, San Carlos, and San Jose del Cabo.
Traditionally the Sea of Cortes has been a commercial fishing zone. With the growth of tourism in the last 20 years (more about this below) attentions have been turned toward sport fishing and boating, scuba diving, and the like.
In 2005, hundreds of islands in Mexico's Sea of Cortes were declared World Heritage Fund sites by United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization. They are home to major whale breeding grounds, and the designation opens up the ability for Mexico to seek funding from the international responsibility to help preseve the area.
The Sea of Cortes is host to a number of interesting and unique little sea critters such as the Flying Mobula and the vaquita marina, the latter of which has been called "the world's rarest, most endangered porpoise".
What's in the Sea of Cortes's future? There's the Mexican government's La Escalera Nautica/Sea of Cortez Project, which seeks to draw more and more pleasure boaters and fishermen to the area. There's a boom in construction all up and down the coasts. There's the World Heritage Fund site status. There is ecotourism and environmental worries about what is going to happen to the area.
In other words, the future's going to be busy on the Sea of Cortes.
Obligatory John Steinbeck 'The Log from the Sea of Cortes' mention
The first thing a lot of people think of when they hear 'The Sea of Cortez' is the John Steinbeck novel. "The Log from the Sea of Cortez" is John Steinbeck's tale of a 1940's expedition there to collect and catalog marine life. In it, he "recounts the day to day events of the collecting trip; encounters with local people at sea and ashore, negotiations with customs officials" (Here's a review).
I'll confess a horrible secret - I bought this book, I have this book, but I have not read this book. I'm really not a big Steinbeck guy - I'm more of a Kerouac guy. If you read this and want to send me your review, I'll post it here, because I've got a stack of other stuff in line before I get to this one...

Rocky Point
Recognized as Puerto Peñasco, or Rocky Point, it’s a city located in the Northeast part of the Sonoran state distinguishing itself by the proximity to the ocean and closeness to the US border. You can go for a swim in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortes, and the best part is it’s only 60 miles from the United States border. In terms of cartography, it’s said that its location is at 31 degrees 19’ north latitude and in the meridian at an altitude of 7 meters above sea level.
Extension
The municipality says that it has a surface area of (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN), which is 5.3% of the entire state.
Municipality of Puerto Peñasco
As head of the municipality, Rocky Point has 27 communities that extend all the way through it’s territory, and also being home to it’s population of 57,342 inhabitants, the majority of which live in the city.
Orography
Even though the majority of the territory is flat, It is important to point out the mountain range of Sonoyta’s neighboring Municipality. Rocky Point is also made up of the recognized Altar desert and the volcanic area of El Pinacate.
History
Rocky Point is recognized as one of the youngest cities of the state of Sonora. It was formed in 1928, officially, but certain towns were already recognized because of the activity of the local mine and the miners who worked there. In the search for precious metals, an American official came and denominate the area as “Rocky Point” (around the early 1940s). It was declared a commissariat city and it was the main area of economic activity of the surrounding fishing region thanks to the marine life of the coasts of the Gulf of California. It is also important to mention that a large part of the development for the region can be attributed to the construction of the train that connected Baja California with Sonora and the rest of the country, until 1950 when Rocky Point converted to a municipality.
One of the legends that exists about the popular port, is the story that Rocky Point served as a place of refuge for American gangster Al Capone, in the 20s.
The Port (The City)
The oldest part of Rocky Point was inhabited by the first residents who at that time only referred to it as Rocky Point, this was around the year 1922 when residents from Arizona came to distribute the fish they caught. Rocky Point started to become founded around Whale Hill, what is known today as Puerto Viejo (Old Port)
Since it’s founding Rocky Point has been a popular place for vacationers from Arizona, Nevada, California and recently the neighboring states of Chihuahua and Baja California.
The population of the port in the year 1937 was relative to the era of fishing and it didn’t even have 100 people, but when they constructed the train the population began to grow rapidly and in 1965 there was approximately 5000 people.
As it was mentioned before Puerto Peñasco, or Rocky Point as the people from the United States call it, has become a home for thousands of families who come more than 1 time a year to enjoy the beautiful beaches and the ocean.
With the money from tourism the Port grew in the services that it offered in order to tend to the needs of the many people who were visiting. The first hotels, such as RV parks, were of crucial importance to the growth of Rocky Point from the mid 20’s all the way through the 80’s.
Rocky Point has continued to grow in areas where there are activities and attractions for the tourists. There are different beaches that are now recognized and provide for great places to go on vacation. Some of the beaches in Rocky Point are: Las Conchas, El Mirador, Playa Hermosa, Playa Encanto, La Cholla, with the most popular of them all being Sandy Beach. In the early 1990s, many development projects were started with a direct focus on tourism and real estate. The area that is now recognized as Sandy Beach had several developments constructed, one after the other, and these are now part of the several things that are offered to tourists.
Some of the most important developments that sustain the majority of the tourism in Rocky Point are: Playa Bonita Resort, Princesa de Peñasco, Las Palomas Beach and Golf Resort, Sonoran Resorts, Marina Pinacate Resort, just to mention a few.
Puerto Peñasco as a city has maintained a stable growth. Actually, there are new commercial services like supermarkets from national chains who apart from the general employees it also benefits the tourism and the locals. Puerto Viejo who is home to Mercada de Mariscos, are fundamental parts of the port that provide for attraction not only for the locals but also for the visitors.
It’s Name “Puerto Peñasco” or “Rocky Point”
The port is recognized with 2 names, Rocky Point in English and Puerto Peñasco in Spanish. Roberto William Hale Hardy, a 1982 retiree from the Great Britian Marine, navigated through the port in search of precious metals and pearls and he gave it the name that we now call it in English, Rocky Point until General Lázaro Cárdenas changed it to Puerto Peñasco, or Port Rocky Point. For simple pronunciation in different languages they eliminated the word “Port”.

In Rocky Point there are tons of cab drivers available for you 24/7.
Remember that all the vehicles being used in Mexico should have Mexican insurance because American insurance is not valid.
The international Airport of the Sea of Cortes is one of the latest projects in Rocky Point that benefits the growth of the city as a potential tourist destination. With a project that started in 2005 the Mayan Group Resorts with the idea in mind to be able to receive commercial airplanes with a maximum capacity of a Boeing 757, made efforts with the Government of the Sonoran state to bring together the project that finally got started in November 2009 through president Felipe Calderon.
Activities
In Rocky Point there are a variety of activities offered for people of all ages and interests. If you come for vacation with the family, you come with friends or you are looking for a romantic escape with your spouse, you can enjoy the attractions that the city has to offer you.
Beach
Is it true that some of the greatest planners are those who don’t plan? Well if this is your case you will still have a wonderful time spending time in the beaches of Rocky Point. You will find activities such as banana boats, jet skis, kite surfing, kayaks and sailing and snorkeling. Several of the hotels offer their guests the equipment for these activities and they are free of charge.
The Land
Who doesn’t love to feel the adrenaline rush when they are on a fourwheeler? Rocky Point is well known for its enormous sand dunes and its huge expanses of dirt where you can make your ATV adventure enjoyable.
ATV’s are permitted as a form of transportation within the city as long as the laws of transportation are respected and only you use the vehicle. We recommend you go to “La Loma” located in the walk to Cholla Bay and here you can rent the 4x4 offroad vehicles and they have many different choices for the family.
There are several places where you can rent an ATV, with prices varying from $30-$50 an hour, depending on the type of vehicle that you want to use. Remember to have your drivers license, which they will request in order to do the rental.
Also take into account that the use of ATV’s is not permitted on the beaches and here are some tips so your ride is always safe and responsible:
- Always use a helmet when you are riding an ATV - The maximum is 2 people on the vehicle
- People who are younger than 16 can not drive
- Don’t drink and drive
- We recommend that you stay away from the main streets which are: Fremont Blvd., Benito Juarez Blvd., and Puerto Viejo.
Scuba Diving
Is exploring the depths of the Sea of Cortes on your list? Scuba diving is saved for the most adventurous people and in Rocky Point it is possible. There are several companies that offer safe scuba diving excursions but as in all places, you are required to be a certified diver to participate in these activities.
Either way, there is plenty of online material that can describe and present the incredible waters of the Gulf of California. You can’t miss this opportunity to see the “Aquarium of the World”, the name that the explored Jacques Costaeu gave it.
Eco-Tourism
For the people who enjoy the environment, Puerto Peñasco offers unique activities to explore the area with guided tours to the Pinacate Biosphere, the Grand Altar Desert and the fauna of the Sea of Cortes. There are several companies dedicated to the tours and we recommend that you use them so that you can be more acquainted with the marvels that Rocky Point has to offer for you.
In continuation We leave you with a list of activities that you cannot miss. The majority of the tours operate from the CEDO (Centro de Estudios de Desiertos y Oceanos):
Discovering the Pools: Informative tour that takes you through the northern part of the Gulf of California where you explore the reefs and the rocks.
Kayak in Estero Morua: With a simple trip in the Kayak, you can access places that cannot be accessed in any other way.
Trip to the Island of San Jorge: In the trip to the island you see a colony of sea lions, dolphins and other species of marine animals such as native birds to the region. You can also do scuba diving, snorkeling, and bird watching.
Sckuk Toak (Sacred Mountain): It’s a touristic location that opened its doors in 2009, and offers information on how the Pinacate Biosphere is managed. You can also visit the crater “El Elegante”, thru the Visit Center Access, at El Pinacate Biosphere Reserve you can practice activities such as camping, hiking, mountain biking and others.
Air
Who has not dreamed about flying? Rocky Point can make your dreams a reality by allowing you to enjoy the city from another point of view by going on a motorized glider. You can fly over the beaches of Sandy Beach and make your own memories with unique photographs and video. These services are found in the area that is known as “The Reef.”
The vacations are so you don’t have to worry and have some time relaxing, but it is also important to take into account the advice we give on activities safety. If you need more information over a certain activity, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Hotel Occupancy: Thanks to the boom of tourism in this region and the large increase in promotions that have been offered by service providers worldwide, such as the Resorts and Hotels here in Puerto Peñasco, the flow of tourists has benefited this year with an increase of 12% over the previous year. According to reports provided by the Convention and Visitors Center, Puerto Peñasco has attracted a total of (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) between national and international tourists.
Tourism
Touristic Affluence
In Rocky Point you can have a good time all year due to the incredible climate all year long. However, the tourism in Rocky Point is seasonal.
Winter Season: For the first season of the year Rocky Point has several visitors from the Northern United States and Canada, the well known “Snow Birds”, come down to visit and enjoy the winter in Rocky Point in their RV’s, which is the most common. The activities at this time of the year are more focused in activities such as Golf, hiking and enjoying the wonderful sunsets that can always be appreciated in the Sea of Cortes.
Spring Season: Just as the rays of the sun begin to heat up the waters of Rocky Point, you can feel the anticipation and excitement for the Spring season to come.

Rocky Point has visitors as early as the first few weeks of June and it extends all the way until classes resume for most schools in August. The most popular activities in this season are, jet skiis, ATVs, fishing, and exploration in general.
Fall Season: Just as the Spring, the fall in Rocky Point is enjoyed in a similar fashion. The weather is incredible during this time of the year and many people enjoy coming to Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) to get away for a few days and enjoy the magnificent breeze of the ocean and take long walks by the beach.
Dining is also a very popular activity during this time of the year as many people venture to the old port for fresh seafood. During October and November is when you can enjoy the last of the fresh climate and exploration activities.

Activities
There are plenty of different options to have fun when visiting Rocky Point, from going out on an amazing fishing trip to Bird Island where all family can enjoy of kayaking and snorkeling to take a nice and quite walk on the beach by the Sunset.
Other ideas:
Playa Hermosa Beach - Do this one at low tide Dad & Mom. On the real low tides the rocks and rock rimmed tide pools are exposed. When you can see the 'seaweed' it's really a low tide. Kids can explore the pools for fish, octopus, squid, shrimp, crabs, coral, colorful sea plants, etc. On the day we went, some kids found a 4 foot long squid! Set some rules for "Look and Not Touch." Let kids know others want to see these wondrous things & creatures too!
Sandy Beach - For exploring visit the southern end where the rocks start, the staff & their kids found whale bones (Illegal to take back into the U.S.) and unique sealife. The hurricane in late 1997 brought the sand back to the Mirador Tourist zone beaches. The 45 degree rocky angled area has leveled out & you can walk there - for now!
But, for a Real Old Fashioned Beach the 'Playa Hermosa' is #1! Also, take a look at some water activities ideas. How about a cruise, Rocky Point offers many different type of cruises during the sunset. We have an entire page dedicated to activities in Rocky Point. This might be a good place to start!

Weather in Rocky Point
How is the weather in Rocky Point, you ask?
Much like the rest of the southwest, the climate in Peñasco is characterized by average temps in the 50-100 degree range, depending on season, and is marked by seasonal storms and high-weather seasons.
The Sonoran region in general - being a desert situated next to an ocean/source of humidity, yet pockmarked with areas of high elevation change - is characterized by temperature swings that can make the nights unseasonably cold compared to the day's blistering heat.
From January to May - 'Spring' - you can expect an average of 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
From May to August - 'Summer' - you can expect 80 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer days can be uncomfortably hot as the humid air and heat combine into a sweltering climate.
From August to Dec - 'Fall/Winter' - you can expect 60-75 an average degrees Fahrenheit, with rain more likely during this stretch of the year.
The Sonoran region's summer rains are typically short and heavy - 'monsoons' that can wash out desert roads and uproot trees. Winter rains tend to be longer, lighter, more widespread and less dangerous.

Amazing view very comfortable and incredible location will definitely recommend and will get again for my next trip out there

Mireyah2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

This condo is conveniently located, comfortable, and well furnished. The patio/balcony provided AMAZING views! The resort has a beautiful pool area with roaming staff, which adds a sense of security day and night. There is beach access through the pool area. Ajay was easy to communicate with and provided quick responses to any questions I had. I highly recommend this beautiful condo and hope to return in the future.

Julie2017-09-18T00:00:00Z

Penthouse in Rocky Point! What else can you say - Sonoran Spa is one of the best places to stay in Penasco and Ajay's condo is as good as it gets. HUGE patio, perfect view, great place. It's a shame our friends couldn't come with, because we could have entertained easily with all the room we had. As it were, for the value it was nice to have the whole place to ourselves. We laid our our backs and pointed out constellations. We slept to the sounds of the waves. We never worried about safety because the security guards are on top of everything. We cooked in. We ate out. We checked out movies and books. We swam the pools. Walked the beach. Ajay is a great and attentive host. If you haven't been to Rocky Point, go and have a great time. And stay here. It was great.

Daniel2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Agaves Del Mar for 7 nights with our 5 children (ages 1-17). We had a blast & all the kids found cool stuff to do. My husband & I sat out on the patio & watched the kids play on the beach. The baby was content most of the time just playing in the sand right in front of the patio. Watching the ocean in the shade of the patio was so relaxing. Plus, if we wanted to go inside the A/C units worked great- plus there was DirecTv and WiFi. Tommy & Rita answered any questions we asked (via AIRBNB email) had very quickly. They were having a water shortage due to a mainline break in town, & we ran out of water one day. There is an 1800 gallon tank out front, but the pump had shut off when the water got too low. I emailed tommy & he had someone come out & fix it with 2 hours. They turned the pump back on & we were back in business. I would just suggest conserving water whenever possible, & limiting showers to like, 10 minutes. With 7 people, we had a lot of showers. We had a few vendors come by. Some came up the stairs onto the property (which we didn't like) but most just stayed on the beach unless you waved them up. My daughters and myself all got our hair braided, the kids & my husband got henna tattoos & we all got bracelets with our names that they made on the spot. They also had all kinds of other souvenir type stuff to sell. One day a local came by out front (he waved from the end of the driveway) selling Tamales, burritos, chili rellanos, & tortillas. I highly recommend these. Delicious!! We were there during the full moon which creates some really drastic high & low tides. The kids had a blast standing at the end of the yard in front of the wall getting splashed at high tide one day when the water came literally all the way up! The low tides were also great for sea shell hunting. If you are there for full moon I suggest going to Cholla Bay (in front of JJ's Cantina) during the morning of the lowest tide right at low tide time. The entire bay empties and we found all sorts of cool stuff- More sand dollars than the kids could even carry, a sea star, and some really large clams & conch shells. We actually found a small octopus, and 2 squids in our bags when we got back home... oops. We went to Old town a couple times, ate & browsed the shops, but mostly we hung out at the beach in fornt of the house. PLACES I RECOMMEND: Kayak Rocky Point Tequila Factory Iguana Banana Al Capone's JJ's Cantina

easy check in check out process, we enjoyed our stay

stephen2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Had a great time at Agaves del Mar. Tommy and Rita took good care of us and the house was amazing. Right on the beach! Plenty of room for our large family. Would definitely recommend this place!

Ernesto2016-04-11T00:00:00Z

The house was as advertised and in a great location on the beach. Drinking water was provided and the grill outside appears to be brand new (with an extra propane tank as well). Tommy called before we came down and arranged to have the house unlocked. We saw him several times and he was very friendly and accommodating throughout. Overall we had a positive experience, and I definitely recommend this property.

Merritt2014-08-05T00:00:00Z

Amazing week at Agaves Del Mar! The home is welcoming and very comfortable. We had 10 in our group 4 adults and 6 kid’s ages 17-6 months. We had a few vendors, which we appreciated the kids got henna tattoos, bracelets with their name on it and the girls got their hair braided right on the back porch. When we arrived the TV was out of order-but we didn’t mind it as it keep the kid’s busy outside. Tom of course was over the next day replacing it. We went into town and shopped; rented some ATV’s and ate lots of sea food. But mostly we hung out at the house and enjoyed the beach. This place is perfect for the family beach getaway we loved kayaking and taking in the sun. It’s also removed from the busier parts of town which was nice. Thanks Tom and Rita!!

Veronica2012-07-20T00:00:00Z

The experience once again was an awesome. As the last time house was super clean, took my family members and they loved it will be back again.

Paradise awaits you in our family oceanfront condo. Sip your coffee in the mornings on the balcony and margaritas into the afternoon and evening. (No one will judge you if margaritas are also your drink of choice in the morning. You're on vacation!)

Our home has a king bed in the master bedroom and a queen bed in the second bedroom. We have 2 roll away cots which can provide sleeping arrangements to allow for a maximum occupancy of up to 6 guests. The roll away cots work well for kids but may be a bit uncomfortable for adults.

There is a hot tub that is heated year round and 3 pools (that are not heated) on the property.

Very nice. Close to the beach. Best to go on weekdays.

Ariel2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was on the third floor with a great view of the Sea of Cortez. The balcony was very large and accommodated 4 people very comfortably. We got shrimp from the market several days and the kitchen was well equipped to eat in. Great location on Sandy Beach. Really comfortable furniture and all was very well kept. We would recommend this to any one and would love to go back very soon. The host provided us with all the details prior to our departure and checking in was super easy. Also, the wifi was really great. I have to work while away and the internet speed can handle multiple users at once. Great experience!

Theresa2016-01-29T00:00:00Z

Beautiful views! Super clean place with everything you need. Great restaurant right on the property. This is my favorite resort on Sandy Beach! Thanks Kim

Mark2017-02-13T00:00:00Z

Beautiful condo, great location and even better view! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy "Arizona's Beach" for a nice getaway!

Nicholas2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

Kim's place was great! Just as described and more. The 3rd floor balconies are the largest in this ocean front building. With direct access to the pool and ocean, there's no reason not to love this unit. The decor and amenities are definitely upgraded in this unit. I rented two privately owned units during one family trip; while both units were in the same building, Kim's this unit was definitely the premium unit. Kim was an excellent host - very accessible and responsive to our inquiries. We felt at home in Kim's beach oasis.

Daniel2016-03-06T00:00:00Z

Kim was a fabulous host. She had directions for everything and suggestions for places to eat. Everything was just like described. The home was beautiful and we loved that the beach was just down the stairs. The view from the balcony made for a perfect sunset. We would recommend her home to anyone and would love to stay again.

Great getaway..lonely no other guests .. but felt safe..far from any store.

Claudia2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Jude & Doug's place is just as everyone has said: PERFECT! Their home is clean, comfortable with everything you need. With 3 bedrooms and 3 complete baths there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and get together for meals and family time! The washer/dryer allowed us to pack light; the kitchen has more than the basics! The huge, amazing pool is just steps from the patio and yes!! you really do have the place mostly to yourself. When the weekend crowd showed up we went from sharing with two families to maybe 6. We grew to appreciate the peacefulness and really had a relaxing vacation stay. Having access to the Mayan Palace was easy and gave us another whole world of luxury just a few minutes drive away. More pools, lazy river and restaurants for the nights we didn't want to cook. Town is about 30 minutes drive away-- you do need a car.

David2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

This is a amazing place quite,peaceful,and nice haveing a big pool to your self .... I recommend the stay here for anyone looking for those 3 reasons

Will2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

Me, my husband and our 15 year old daughter loved staying at the Mayan Lakes. The host was very helpful and answered any questions immediately. The condo is very beautiful, we felt like at home. Did not mind driving a few minutes to the Mayan Palace. Definitely coming back! Not having Wifi was actually a good thing, not being "connected" at all times made us feeling more connected with eachother and this is what vacation is all about:) Thanks for everything Jude and Doug.

Monika2015-10-17T00:00:00Z

Beautiful apartment/condo. Clean, all necessary amenities for a great stay. Close to beach and access to all of Mayan Palace amenities. Host responded promptly and provided clear instructions. Would recommend it to anybody!

Daniel2015-03-16T00:00:00Z

My friends and I enjoyed Jude & Doug's condo. It was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The staff on site were very friendly and accommodating. Access to the Mayan Palace amenities were a huge plus as the property was a little far from the main town. The upstairs hot tub was huge & had a beautiful view.

Mayra2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at Las Conchas. Christine was very prompt to reply to our last-minute booking request. Upon our late arrival Dan walked us through the house and made sure we had everything we needed. Both were very friendly each time our paths crossed as we were coming and going. Overall, we were very pleased with the house and quite comfortable. Thank you Dan & Christine! Nolan, Kase & Kody

Dan and Christine were amazing hosts and supplied my family with everything we needed for a relaxing and wonderful vacation. They gave us plenty of space, but were right there when we needed them. I am definitely going to book with them again, but this time for a longer period :)

David2013-09-24T00:00:00Z

Prior to my arrival Christine was amazing at responding to any and all of my questions. When I arrived I knew that I would be checked in by her husband. Her husband told us that Habitat for Humanity was in town and he would rather keep them together in the condos they have, so he offered to show us another place. We accpeted his offer, as the other rental was on the beach. After viewing the beach property we decided to stay with our original reservation in Las Conchas. But then he had another place to show us. We choose to view a third property. This property was amazing, it was called Eterno Verano in Las Conchas. One problem: we had to wait for Pepe to bring the key. We waited over a 1/2 hour. Finally, Pepe arrived and we were allowed in to the residence. Pepe told us he was in charge of the residence and he works for the owners. A few days later we were harrassed at a local gas station by one of Pepe's workers who told us the owners of Eterno Verano were in town and we would have to move. We then drove back to the property - interrupting our NYE 2015 and putting a damper on the rest of the evening. When we arrived, a caucasian male approached our rental. He informed us he and his family had rented Eterno Verano through a property management company called Oceano. Christine's husband was notified of this issue and worked hard to clarify what had happened. To no fault of his own, Pepe was renting the propery under the owner's noses without Oceano's permission. He assured us we could stay in the rental and provided us with a written rental agreement. Our last night there we had a person in a truck pull up to the residence and park for 5 mintues and they peeled out crazily and drove off. Our group was very concerned for safety as Pepe was having people look for our White Ford 150 (hence the reason we were approached in the gas station by a random person claiming to work with Pepe). Christine's husband called us once we were back in the US and emailed us a free 3 night voucher for a rental due to all the mishap(URL HIDDEN)

Christine and Dan are absolutely wonderful hosts and make you feel right at home with their warm-hearted personalities! The house was amazingly clean and stocked with everything we needed for a fabulous weekend get-a-way! :) We will definitely be regular renters at this house! :)

Hosts are very friendly and helpful. House was clean and comfortable. The top floor is spectacular and has a wonderful view all around. Has a grill and sink, but was lacking a bit of lighting at night. Just bring an outdoor light and you're good. This is definitely a must for families to stay and relax! Enjoy!

Fernando was a great host. Met us at the gate and showed us through the front door and around the property. We opted to stay an extra night and Fernando was able to accommodate promptly. I have absolutely no bad things to say about our stay. We will absolutely look for this property to stay again.

Great little place. Fernando was very nice and welcoming. A secure place about 10 minutes from town.

Dan2017-06-03T00:00:00Z

My mom, sister and I visited Rocky Point for a quick girls weekend. We had a wonderful time at Fernando's place. Very close to the beach and Fernando was a great host. He brought us Mexican bread and home made tamales which were delicious.

Melissa2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Higher standards than Most. Beautiful views and private feel.

Andrew2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

Fernando was great. My friend and I found the place very last minute and I was very impressed. Fernando was very responsive and helped us with directions. The house was right on the beach away from the huge crowds. He even made us delicious homemade empanandas the next morning. I'm happy we lucked out by getting this place.

Kathleen2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

The Lord has blessed us to have a safe trip, a wonderful host and a peaceful place to rest. Our first visit to this area, and we were not quite prepared well, but Fernando was gracious to assist us, set up a place that was easy and convenient to meet and patiently waited as we were running late. Fernando took additional time to guide us and show us around before we went to his place, even though it was late. We felt welcomed and the place was very nice. We are used to air conditioning and we were spoiled with having the temperature remote control at our finger tips. We enjoyed that we could be away from the media, the fact that we did not have a TV available made it easy to just focus on resting and disconnect from daily life. The neighborhood area was quiet and dark at night, this was perfect as we were able to sit outside on the patio and watch one of the most beautiful night sky, just filled with starts, one of the most wonderful we had seen in a long time, praise God! The beach was within a short walking distance and almost private, easy to find and plenty room to enjoy, not a crowded area at all. A wonderful place to visit again!

MaryAn2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay, the place was clean and newly remodeled. It was a short walk to beach which we could see from deck. Fernando was a great host and went out of his way to make us feel welcomed.

Carol2017-02-22T00:00:00Z

First I would like to start by saying that Fernando was a most excellent and gracious host. He was attentive, considerate and accommodating to our comfort and needs. The place was very clean and comfortable. A lot of new things in the place. Nice pillows and sheets. Nice patio area and just a short walk to the beach. Fernando showed us the new improvements to the facility that are in progress and we can’t wait to get back and see them finished and enjoy them. My girlfriend and I loved it and will definitely be back very soon. Thanks, Fernando!

The apartment was great for a weekend get-away.

Scott2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

Rodolfo was very welcoming! He was always available if we needed something, not intrusive, respective and courteous. This place is one of three townhouses/condos, side by side. Very quite. slightly secluded. Overlooking the ocean (beautiful sunset and bright moon). Approximately 8 minutes from the Old Port (shopping and Restaurants) and 15 minutes from Sandy Beach. Close to were we wanted to go but not too close.

Very nice location with ocean view for days. Great deal and awesome location. Close to everything.

The Baja Beach House has location, location, location! Located five hours south of Tucson, AZ by car or bus and located on Catch 22 beach (Playa Algodones)......Cotton Beach...... The Soggy Peso, the best beach bar in North America, is a quick walk down the beach- a kite boarder paradise! The humidity disappears in October and brings way to "Springtime weather" November and December we lowered the prices for the Holidays....and plenty of fresh limes in the garden for Key Lime Pie.

Located at Costa del Mar San Carlos, Sonora, MEXICO, this large, awesome and energetic Baja Beach House property is seven years old and sits on a guarded, quiet community 24-7
Just a three-minute walk from Playa Algodones beach, (Cotton Beach) - sometimes referred to as the Catch 22 beach where the 1970s movie Catch 22 was filmed) and surrounded by the Sonoran mountains. The surrounding terrain is excellent for birding, hiking, seeing raccoon, mule deer, javelinas, ring tail cats and wild horses....The Baja Beach House is located five hours south of Tucson, Arizona by car or bus and located on Catch22 beach (Algodones).
Conde Nast Magazine listed S.C. as a number one destination for scenery, wildlife, different cuisines and accessibility to such areas as Copper Canyon, & Alamos.
The atmosphere in Sonora is more unique and requires less money and is less crowded than Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, and of course is very safe, (more than Acapulco!!!! )......

If you want peace and quiet and access to the beach and Soggy Peso and other (close by food places) then the Baja Beach house is the choice! All is a quick walk down the Beach.
There is a commons area in the neighborhood and large pool with shower....BBQ facilities and tables for a fiesta..There are new pickle ball and tennis courts available for guests.
Security gate is 24-7 and Sonora, MX is safe!

Eric's condo is great! It's minutes walking distance to the beach and great restaurants. The Condo is clean and the bathroom is large. You can bring dogs and there is a back yard. Eric and his pup are super friendly and make you feel very welcome. The beach is awesome!

Kelley2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

Eric is very responsive and accommodating. Great location if you are visiting San Carlos. Easy walk to the beach bars and restaurants. Spacious house in a quiet neighborhood. Great value. Will return.

Mark2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

The place was perfect for our needs and expectations. We shared with Eric what the purpose of our trip was and he made sure to assist us, any which way he could. He even baked us a key lime pie! (oops, cat of the bag) 4 adults shared the unit with the 1 bathroom perfectly fine, 2 more could be a challenge, but 2 kids should be a perfect fit for the maximum 6! Nature is at it's best with all its creatures and weather, so being familiar with a desert environment is a plus. The beach and the sceneries are as the picture show, no photoshop there. Thank you Eric for making our stay a pleasant one. Hasta pronto amigo!

Mayra2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

It took us 4 minutes to walk from this house to the lovely beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already discussing when we might return. Eric might be the best host we have worked with at any property, and that says a lot.

RANDY2017-03-03T00:00:00Z

The beds are super comfortable. The amenities excellent. I have stayed in several Airbnbs all over Europe and never have I had such fun, entertaining accommodating hosts as Eric and Rose.

Katy2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

The home is a small and very nice development along 'Catch 22 Beach.' It is very close to some great beach restaurants / bars - very good! Eric and Rose are super people. They are in the process of improvements in the home including some furniture upgrades and utensil upgrades. As these are completed this will be a great place to stay.
